The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 180

Chapter 180

Lucianne’s head cocked to one side as she waited, so Xandar continued, “That you mark me right after.”

Lucianne chuckled and nodded before pulling him into another kiss. His body developed a mind of its own when it climbed onto the bed and hovered over her. Xandar’s lips left hers only to move to her neck, where he started licking and sucking on it as Lucianne released a stream of cute moans before the sexy ones came out. His nose traced her jawline as his canines extended, and he whispered, “Deep breath, baby.”

Lucianne complied, and with his animal’s instinct, Xandar’s canines plunged into her neck. Lucianne yelped from the pain, which lasted for a brief second before it was replaced with pleasure. There was also something else.

She felt an intense stream of emotions relating to love, devotion and gratitude. As Xandar retracted his canines and started licking off the excess blood, Lucianne realized that those intense emotions weren’t hers. They were her mate’s. She finally felt the intensity and depth of his love for her, and was touched beyond words.

When Xandar was done, his eyes of affection and protectiveness locked with her glistening, smiling ones as he uttered a deep and

alluring ‘Mine’.

Lucianne blushed under his stare and declaration before he flipped their bodies over, holding his mate on top of him before pecking a kiss on her nose and nuzzling it as he said, “Your turn, my little freesia. Mark me.” 1

He inched his head to one side, giving her full access to his neck. Lucianne’s tongue got to work, licking and tenderising the area as Xandar’s thumbs stroked her bare skin on her waist, closing his eyes to indulge in the moment he’d been waiting for since the night they met.

Her canines extended, and they plunged into Xandar’s neck. “Mm.” Xandar stiffened for a brief moment before he moaned in delight. When Lucianne sucked on the excess blood and cleaned his wound, his hands caressed her buttocks as he explored her emotions that he could now feel. He felt her vulnerability; her willingness to open up to him, her certainty about what they were doing; and her love for him that felt as strong as blazing fire.

Lucianne pecked a kiss on his chin and whispered a soft but firm, “Mine.” Another peck on his lips before she uttered, “Thank you, my love.”

He kissed her deeply on her lips, and uttered, “Thank you for opening up to me, and for letting me love you.” A peck on her nose, and he declared, “I love you.”

Lucianne felt the intensity of his words with their entwined emotions, and she chuckled in bliss before she said, “I know. I love you, too.”

Xandar placed her back on the bed and held her close. As usual, Lucianne snuggled into his warm chest and fell asleep. When Xandar was certain that she was in deep slumber, he cautiously removed his arms wrapping around her body.

After pecking a light kiss on her forehead, he muttered, “I won’t take long, sweetheart. I’ll be right back.” When Xandar left the bed, he picked up his phone from the nightstand and paced to the bathroom, carefully twisting the door knob to avoid making any sounds.

In the bathroom, he gave Juan a call, and after the Alpha gave his permission and blessing, Xandar asked for his mate’s adoptive father’s number, which Juan promised to send and chuckled as he uttered, “Good luck.”

Those two words were enough to make Xandar more nervous than he already was. He hoped that his heart rate wasn’t too high. His emotions were now entwined with Lucianne’s, and he didn’t want to wake her with his nervousness and anxiety. Former-Alpha Ken wouldn’t be that scary, would he?

Ken was PISSED that Xandar had not bothered to meet him in person before courting his adopted daughter, and now he had the gall to ask for his blessing to propose to his little girl?! THE AUDACITY! He didn’t care that Xandar was the Lycan King! Lucianne was his daughter! She was his baby girl! 1

It took twenty minutes of persuasion over the phone for Xandar to persuade Ken that he wanted to do right by Lucianne, that he would protect her, love her and take care of her for the rest of his life. Ken was only a little swayed, not because of what Xandar said, but because of what his own son had linked him over the past few weeks when Ken reminded Juan over and over again to look out for Lucianne.

Lucianne texted more than she linked her adoptive father, and from those texts and short links, she seemed…happy with Xandar, s o Ken grudgingly gave in and added, “WHEN THIS WHOLE SH*T IN YOUR KINGDOM IS CLEANED UP, YOU GET YOUR AS* BACK HERE AND MEET US LIKE A PROPER MAN MY DAUGHTER DESERVES, BOY!” 5
